Ensign
An ensign is the national flag flown on a vessel to indicate
nationality. The ensign is the largest flag, generally flown at the
stern (rear) of the ship. The naval ensign (also known as war ensign),
used on warships, may be different from the civil ensign (merchant
ships) or the yacht ensign (recreational boats). Large versions of
naval ensigns called battle ensigns are used when a warship goes into
battle. The ensign differs from the jack which is flown from a
jackstaff at the bow of a vessel.
In its widest sense, an ensign is just a flag or other standard.[1]
The European military rank of ensign,[2] once responsible for bearing
a unit's standard (whether national or regimental) derives from it (in
the cavalry the equivalent rank was cornet, named after a type of
flag). In contrast, the Arab rank of ensign, liwa, derives from the
command of a unit or units with an ensign, not the carrier of such a
unit's ensign, and is a general officer
